Abstract:
BIM based bridge lifecycle management is information model delivered from planning to design, construction and maintenance. BIM technology will become trend of the future bridge construction and management. However, there is no solution for the whole lifecycle quick and accurate modeling, process management, realtime calculation and simulation, and depend on requirement to dynamic show the construction equipment behavior etc. integrated in one platform. This article is based on a theory of integrated PLM method in one simulation platform, which is an initial approach of bridge PLM, meanwhile compared other possible technical routine for PLM. The platform integrates collaborative design, construction management, construction analysis, construction animation, construction Gantt chart, and maintenance and so on.
